VIDEO: Two people were killed Saturday night in Phoenix by the same hit-and-run driver, and police are still searching for the suspect.
The two accidents happened just after 10:30 p.m.
The first happened near 43rd Avenue and Indian School Road. Phoenix police say the driver of a Lincoln Town Car struck 17-year old Nester Lopez, who was crossing 43rd Avenue.
Lopez was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Maribel Dominguez is Nester's grieving mother. She says her son went to the store to grab some snacks and that was the last time she saw him.
“I'm devastated, all he did was go for ice cream and chips," she said.
Sunday, family and friends gathered for a candlelight vigil to honor Lopez' memory. As his mom sobbed, she says she’s distraught and wants justice for her son.
